PREFACE 

The  following  classification  for  forestry  literature  has  been  pre- 
pared by  the  Faculty  of  the  Yale  Forest  School  for  use  in  its 
library.  It  is  published  to  supply  the  demand  for  a  simple  and 
comprehensive  classification  that  is  adapted  to  any  library  system. 

The  work  was  begun  about  one  year  ago  and  included  a  study 
of  all  available  data  on  the  subject.  A  tentative  outline  was  sub- 
mitted to  prominent  members  of  the  profession  from  whom  help- 
ful suggestions  were  received. 

The  subject  has  been  divided  into  nine  parts  of  approximately 
equal  importance.  The  secondary  divisions  also  hav  ,n  limited 
to  nine  and  have  not  been  amplified  except  when  necessary  for 
clearness.  This  makes  possible  the  adoption  of  the  classification 
without  change,  in  libraries  using  the  Dewey  Decimal  System. 

No  attempt  has  been  made  to  classify  related  subjects.  The 
classification  of  the  Library  of  Congress,  with  some  modifications, 
has  been  adopted  for  Agriculture  and  that  of  the  Yale  University 
Library  for  other  scientific  subjects. 

Acknowledgment  is  made  to  Dr.  B.  E.  Femow  for  valuable 
assistance  rendered  by  him ;  and  to  all  others  who  have  aided  in 
the  work.
